Welcome to the web pages of theMeccano Society of Scotland

The Meccano system was invented by Frank Hornby in 1901 and first
appeared on sale as a constructional toy called "Mechanics Made
Easy". This was renamed Meccano in 1907.

The Meccano Society of Scotland was formed in 1984 by a group of like
minded enthusiasts interested in Meccano. We cater for a variety of
interests. Some of our members are builders and others are collectors, but
all are interested in Meccano.

We have around five club meetings a year, usually held in Stirling together
with an annual exhibition.

The annual competition at our Menstrie meeting on May 20th will be a ping pong ball roller. More details here.

We publish a club Newsletter about three times a year.
Back issues of the Newsletter are now available for download. Alternately they can be viewed online, with no need to download them first. NEW - Issues up to issue 96 (December 2014) are now available - See the Newsletter page

Membership of the Society is open to any person interested in Meccano
and new members are always welcome.
